Fewegla Black EM/NCO Visor for Review & Comment

[Friedrich-Berthold]

The ex Burnham cap on Bruce H's site is also one of the last gasp of its type, but from Mueller which made many Sonderanfertigung caps. So did such other firms as Isken, Wagner, and such. The piece you show above is a cousin of the Weissbach cap, and uses a rayon lining found in NSDAP caps, among others. These caps were auf Kammer and somehow survived. My first black SS cap was a Mueller Sonderanfertigung of small size, 53 cms. It is in the left upper corner. I got it more than forty years ago.....

Pretty frightening, really.

Think of how I could have done something productive....

I wanted to see what you think of my first hat purchased? I am not yet in possession of this beauty, but will be in about 15 days! I stay up at night thinking about this beautiful piece!! Is that normal....LOL.

The cap illustrated in #30 has the runics imprinted into the cello, and not onto the rayon or silk lining. This is a variation, but I have a cap identical to it, but of much earlier make, ca. 1935.

Very nice piece from 1937, from the Fa. Kornacker, I think, in Hildesheim. I am not sure. I will have to check the book. Very nice item, and with all the nice traits one likes. Well done.
Yours is a standard cap, not a Sonderanfertigung.

Well done. Losing sleep over foetid black caps is pretty well known problem in my life.

I fell into said trap a long time ago.....and at what cost!


Kornacker is still going in Hildesheim......Donnerwetter.

This is what the reality of foetid woolens will do....

For me the inside of the cap looks too new, whilst the the outside,even though it is made of trikot, looks "soft" and I think that the overall shape of the cap is not correct,especially in picture #3.
Chinstrap looks flimsy as well and even if was proven to be original, this is not a pattern of cap that I would purchase, as I would rather keep my money for something that I knew was original with a bit more style to it.

Well, as this cap has now proved to be original, I would still be happier with another model.

I guess this comes under the heading of "Curses! Wrong again!!"

There is no shortage of this kind of cap and surely one can find what one seeks with patience and a large pile of ducats.

Dangerous territory for sure, Sam....never forget that Black Hats need Black Tunics....
